Chapter 319 Like entering a deserted place
The slave trader left in anger without saying a word.

Some of the passers-by who watched all this on the road gave Chu Qing and his group a thumbs up, while others reminded them that the slave trader had other forces in Liangjie City and asked them to be careful.

Chu Qing clasped his fists towards everyone and continued to lead his people towards Liangjie City.

To them, this incident was just a small episode and not worth mentioning.

The whole process did not waste any time. They immediately quickened their pace and arrived at Liangjie City before dark.

It was just like when I first set foot in Tongyao City, I could smell the aroma of meat everywhere in the streets and alleys, and it was the same in Liangjie City.

But what I smelled was not the smell of fragrant meat, but the smell of roast goose.

The smell is really tempting, and one can’t help but salivate.

So after finding the inn, everyone went to a restaurant in Liangjie City and ordered a table of food and wine.

Chu Qing and the others were quite satisfied with the whole meal, especially the roast goose, which was indeed as good as its reputation.

So before leaving, Chu Qing packed two more, intending to take them with him on the road.

Of course, the meal was not all smooth sailing... During the meal, someone came to cause trouble and brought the slave trader with him.

I heard him introduce a lot of names of the people who came, and also learned from Liu Qingyan that the person who came to support him was indeed from a prominent background.

Not only is he famous in the martial arts world, he is also an influential figure in these two cities.

But even so, Chu Qing didn't remember the other person's name.

He just grabbed him and threw him out of the restaurant.

The other party was persistent and climbed up again with a bloody head, determined to fight Chu Qing to the death.

Chu Qing thought about it for a moment, then broke his arms and legs and threw him down again.

This time, the other party really couldn't climb up again... But the other party said that Chu Qing and the others would not be able to see the sun the next day.

The biggest impact of such bold words on Chu Qing was that the store gave him a buy-one-get-one-free deal for the two roast geese he packed, which made him very satisfied.

After dinner, we returned to the inn to rest. That night was as calm as the water in an ancient well, without the slightest ripple.

It was not until the next morning before leaving Liangjie City that I learned that a big incident had occurred in Liangjie City the previous night.

The two city lords, who belonged to Liaoyuan Prefecture and Liexing Prefecture respectively, were stripped naked and hung on the south city gate. Their bodies were covered with bloodstains from being whipped, and there was almost no good flesh left on their bodies. However, they did not die. Under the watchful eyes of many people, they were carried back to their respective city lord's mansions to heal their wounds.

Secondly, last night, many slave trading businesses in the entire Liangjie City were attacked by a mysterious man.

This person was like a fierce god passing through the land. No one could match him wherever he went. Although his attacks were ruthless, he did not kill anyone.

Only their tendons in their hands and feet were cut, but their lives were saved.

However, for these people, this method is not as satisfying as killing them directly.

Their internal strength is shallow, and their tendons in their hands and feet have been cut. Even if they recover their martial arts skills, they will be useless. The strength in their hands and feet is far less than before, even weaker than that of ordinary people.

However, those who had profound internal strength had their Qi Hai and Dantian destroyed by that man.

When this incident was spread among the people, it was truly shocking.

Everyone wanted to know who did this, but eyewitnesses only said that the man was wearing black clothes and a mask, had great martial arts skills, and was like a god on earth.

In front of this man in black, they were like ants facing a god. Even if they tried their best, they could not lift a corner of his clothes, let alone see his true face.

So... no one knows who did this.

All we know is that the person who did this was the same person who whipped the two city lords.

After hearing the news, Chu Qing's face didn't look good.

But in the end he didn't say anything. He just led Wu Qianhuan and others to quickly leave Liangjie City and rush to Liexing Mansion like lightning.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

February is already halfway through and the weather is gradually warming up. Although the cold wind is still as sharp as a knife, piercing people's hearts, with the sun high in the sky, you can still feel a hint of warmth.

During this period, there were changes in the world.

The three prefectures, three gates and three sects were indeed unable to sit still. Just as Chu Qing had expected, the first one to be unable to sit still was the Liexing Prefecture.

I heard that the Han family of Liexing Prefecture has reached an agreement with the Ouyang family of Liaoyuan Prefecture.

They agreed to jointly deal with Tianyin Mansion and give an explanation to those killed by Tianyin Mansion no matter what.

There is no concrete evidence for this matter, but the rumors are already rife.

Liu Qingyan found it difficult to maintain her original calm state of mind and became somewhat uneasy.

Especially from the Tianyin Mansion, there was no movement from beginning to end, which made her feel an indescribable sense of urgency.

Fortunately, Chu Qing and others comforted her from time to time and told her to stay calm, so she didn't panic and do anything impulsive.

At the same time, several people traveled day and night, and even did not stop at night, and finally arrived at the main city of Liexing Mansion, Liexing City!

There aren't any special delicacies in the Star Rift City, but there's a bit of every kind of good stuff there.

There were many people walking on the street, and it was noisy and bustling.

But Chu Qing and others always felt that the eyes around them were not particularly friendly.

Occasionally, I would look up and see people sitting by the windows of street restaurants drinking, looking at me with contempt.

Chu Qing frowned slightly and looked at the man. The man then slowly looked away and whispered something to his friend, which immediately caused a burst of laughter.

The man originally thought Chu Qing was on the street, and he was in the restaurant, so Chu Qing couldn't possibly hear what he said.

But what kind of martial arts is Chu Qing?
In an instant, he heard the man's words clearly. What he said was, "He is a blind bumpkin, but he is quite courageous. I really want to dig out his eyes."

Chu Qing almost laughed out of anger.

Since he became famous in the martial arts world, he has never heard such words.

He picked up a stone at random and sent it out with his internal force.

Without hearing the sound of breaking wind, the stone had already reached the man's back. Then there was a loud bang, and the huge force was transmitted to his whole body and limbs, knocking him flying, breaking a table, and also shaking several people who were eating at the same table to the ground.

The sound of breaking wind finally came at this time.

The man's friends were fine, with only their limbs broken. They looked around screaming, but they had no idea what had happened.

But the person who spoke was not so lucky.

Chu Qing was annoyed that he had no grudge against him but he still spoke ill of him. Although he did not take his life directly, the stone damaged all his internal organs and injured all his meridians, but he did not die. He had to lie in bed for the rest of his life and could not do anything.

For ordinary people, this may be too heavy a blow.

But Chu Qing asked himself that he practiced martial arts not to listen to others insulting him and then let them go.

Masters should not be insulted lightly. This is the meaning of it. If you dare to insult me, I will kill you!
If I don't kill you, I will make you suffer for the rest of your life, so that you will know what it means to speak out. You are a martial arts master with unique skills, but anyone can scold you. It's better not to practice martial arts.

After the stone flew out, Chu Qing suddenly felt refreshed, and then looked at Liu Qingyan:
"What's going on with this city?"

Liu Qingyan saw Chu Qing hit the flying stone. Although she didn't have such a good hearing that she could hear what the man in the restaurant said, she understood most of it.

He shook his head and sighed and said:

"The people of Split Star City are just arrogant... Split Star Mansion has been standing in the martial arts world for many years and has a high status in the martial arts world.

“So people born in Star Splitting City feel they are superior to others.

“There is always indescribable contempt for outsiders.

“Although the Star-Splitting Government has never admitted this, their actions have been supportive.

“I’ve heard that if an outsider gets into a conflict with someone from Split Star City, then regardless of right or wrong, the Split Star Mansion will insist that it’s the outsider’s fault.

"At the very least, they will be expelled from Star Splitting City, or even expelled from Star Splitting Mansion. At the worst, they will be sentenced to prison. This is totally unreasonable.

"This behavior will only increase the arrogance of the people of Star Split City."

Chu Qing suddenly realized, no wonder... They clearly didn't know each other, but they spoke bad words to each other for no reason.

After all this time, was it the Liexing Mansion that gave them the confidence?
Let them think they can be superior?
A smile appeared on Chu Qing's lips:
"It seems that the Star-Splitting Mansion has never been attacked in all these years."

"The overall environment in Lingbei is still very peaceful. The three prefectures, three sects and three schools stand tall in the world, like white jade pillars supporting the sky and purple gold beams spanning the sea.

"To conquer the world, the framework is extremely solid.

"Unlike you guys in Nanling, you hit me and I hit you from time to time... full of energy."

Liu Qingyan glanced at Chu Qing.

Up to now, she still didn't know who Chu Qing was, but she already knew that this guy was from Nanling.

This was not only because You Zong said some time ago that Chu Qing had a relationship with Nanling Liehuotang, but also because his understanding of the underworld in Lingbei was too superficial.

Sometimes he asked, sometimes he seemed to be suddenly enlightened... He looked completely unfamiliar with Lingbei and didn't even try to hide it.

After a pause, Liu Qingyan looked at Chu Qing:
"Now that we have arrived at Star Splitting City, what should we do next? Find a place to stay?
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that we are not from the Split Star City. If we stay at an inn, the better the room, the more expensive it will be. It will be double the normal price."

Chu Qing almost laughed out of anger:
"It's just baffling!"

Wu Qianhuan also found it incredible:

“Isn’t the inn a place for outsiders to live?
“Their behavior means that the locals do not normally stay at home but also live in the inn?
“If outsiders don’t stay in this inn, how are they going to make money?
"Or is it that making money is no longer important, and despising outsiders is one's lifelong career?"

Wu Qianhuan considered himself to be knowledgeable, but this was the first time he had seen such a strange situation.

Liu Qingyan spread her hands:
“My father said that Han Qiujun did this on purpose, and it was his way of governing.

"In fact, there is one very strange thing. The more this happens in Star Splitting City, the more prosperous this city becomes..."

"Because we were born in the Split Star Mansion, everyone wants to be a person from the Split Star City."

Chu Qing's anger gradually subsided, but he already understood Han Qiujun's intention.

There is a hidden staircase beneath this arrogant city.

A ladder that allows ordinary people to become superior people. The law leans towards Star Split City, which is the capital of Star Split City's arrogance. To ordinary people, they are superior people.

If outsiders also want to get all of this, then they can only work hard within Star Rift City.

By using his contributions, he gained the same treatment as the people in Star Rift City, and eventually became completely superior to those arrogant people.

Perhaps there is another ladder leading to a higher place.

However, as outsiders, Chu Qing and the others did not know all the details.

However, Chu Qing smiled and said:

“If one day someone wants to attack Starburst City and destroy the Han family…

“The first ones to transform into flesh, blood, swords and shields were the people of Star Split City.

“The Han family gave them the capital to be arrogant, allowing them to look down on outsiders, but if the Han family were to fall, they would lose the qualification to be arrogant.

“It’s a loss of everything that we take for granted now.”

Liu Qingyan suddenly looked at Chu Qing, and heard Chu Qing say:

"Let's go. We won't stay at the inn today."

"Where do we live then?"

"Live at the Han family."

The Han family is easy to find, right in the center of this Star-Splitting City.

A square building with four corners, covering a large area.

It seems like a city within a city...just like the imperial palace of the Daqian Dynasty.

When he arrived, he saw disciples from the Liexing Mansion guarding the door.

There were many guards, and their eyes looked down upon everything around them with cold contempt.

When they realized that Chu Qing and the others wanted to get closer, someone spoke up:
"The Star-Splitting Mansion is a restricted area, no outsiders are allowed to approach!"

Chu Qing glanced at Liu Qingyan:
"Is your Tianyin Mansion also like this?"

Liu Qingyan scratched her nose:

"Not really... but to some extent, it's almost the same."

Chu Qing sighed and inexplicably admired Chu Yunfei.

A glimpse of the whole picture shows that the Star-Splitting Mansion is completely like the emperor's style, and the Tianyin Mansion should not be much different...

Back then, Chu Yunfei, a young man with mediocre martial arts skills, kidnapped the jewel in the crown of Tianyin Mansion... It was just like a princess who was high and mighty was deceived by an ordinary citizen.

How did this trick work?
He shook his head, and without stopping, he led everyone directly into the Lixing Mansion.

The guard at the door saw this and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes:
"Anyone who trespasses into the Star-Splitting Mansion will be killed without mercy!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several guards jumped up and rushed towards Chu Qing and his group.

But a golden light was seen flowing. Chu Qing kept moving. The guard's palm hit the golden light, and he screamed and flew backwards.

As soon as the figure landed on the ground, he looked up and saw Chu Qing and his group striding forward. They did not stop even when they arrived at the door.

The golden energy that wrapped around them touched the city gate, and the gate shattered into pieces the moment it did!
Chu Qing led his men in one after another, as if they were in an empty place!
